Through studying the process of mitosis, the scientists gained knowledge of cancer. The study led into a wider understanding of cancer because it led to an apprehension on how cancer cells divide and split into two so rapidly.

Answer;

c. It led to the development of contact-inhibition regulators.

Explanation;

-While normal cells possess mechanisms that inhibit proliferation when conditions are inappropriate, tumor cells circumvent these mechanisms and continue proliferating.

-Contact inhibition is a process of arresting cell growth when cells come in contact with each other. As a result, normal cells stop proliferating when they form a monolayer in a culture dish. Contact inhibition is a powerful anticancer mechanism that is lost in cancer cells.

During gamete formation, each allele of a pair for a gene moves to separate gametes. Which principle is indicative of this state

TiliK225 [7]

Think about the actual physical process happening in the cell - the allele (or versions of a gene) are literally physical pieces of DNA strung together into chromosomes. And as the cell divides to form gametes, those chromosomes randomly assort themselves into the two new cells (conditional that each new cell gets one copy of each chromosome, in the case of gametes)...<span>

Someone PLEASE help!!!!!!

Valentin [98]

Answer:

1.) spindle fibers and centrioles form

2.) chromosomes align on metaphase plate

3.) chromosomes move to opposite poles

4.) two identical nucleotides form

Mitosis is important because it is responsible for the growth of is responsible for human development.

Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes. Meiosis also produces genetic variation by way of the process of recombination.

Among the products of glycolysis, which compounds contain energy that can be used by other biological reactions?a) ATP onlyb) py

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: A (ATP only)

Explanation:

Both NADH and pyruvate are energy store. NADH and pyruvate can not directly be used to drive biological reaction.The metabolism of pyruvate releases energy in the form of ATP. NADH produces ATP through the electron transport chain (ETC). Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is referred to as the energy currency of the cell. ATP is used directly as energy to drive endergonic and exergonic biological reaction.

Answer is ATP only
